Crispy Lentil Bites
3-4
Ingredients
- cooked lentils, 1/2 cup (make sure to rinse/inspect lentils)
- lemon, 1 whole halved & juiced
- dijon mustard, 1 tsp
- nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup
- almond flour, or other gf flour, 1/4 cup
- Italian seasoning: basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder
- salt & black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°.
If lentils are still hot, allow to cool completely, then transfer to medium sized mixing bowl.
Add in flour, nutritional yeast, a generous sprinkle of seasonings, plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix together.
Add lemon juice and dijon, mix some more. Taste test your lentil mix and adjust flavor to your liking.
Either mash mixture by hand, or for easier prep, use a food processor. Add tbsp or more of water or oil if mixture is too dry.
Scoop a palm size of the mix and roll into balls, then into a tater tot shape. Place each lentil bite evenly spread apart on a parchment covered sheet pan (or nonstick).
Enter into oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until bites are crispy.
